Still Perfect.. and You're Not.
New faces include Joey Porter, Ted Ginn, Samson Satale, John Beck, Cory Schlesinger, Lorenzo Booker, Drew Mormino, Reagen Mauia, Paul Solia, Abraham Wright, Kelvin Smith, David Martin, Mkristo Bruce Brandon Fields, Cam Worrell, Mike Rosenthal, Chris Lewienski, Jay Feeley, but noone may be bigger than the recent trade for Quarterback Trent Green. Going into last offseason our biggest needs were at OLB, OLINE, Quarterback, Wide Receiver and Head Coach.
Nick Saban simply put was full of bologna and didn't have what it takes to be an NFL coach. He didn't get the same respect he received from his college boys at Michigan State and LSU and just couldn't cut it. Saban had a college mentality and wanted full control when in reality he had no control. The Dolphins retain defensive guru Dom Capers and then hired offensive guru Cam Cameron to be their Head Coach. This move automatically upgrades our team because play calling was a downfall for our team last year and Cam has one of the best offensive minds in the game. Cam will get the best and help players such as Chris Chambers and Ronnie Brown reach their full potential. I think Ronnie Brown benefitsfrom this move more than anyone. Cam immeditaly made his pressence felt by releasing underachieving offensive linemen such as Bennie Anderson, Jeno James, and terminatin ghte inconsistent tight end Randy McMichael. Cam put his foot down on Ricky Williams when he fialed another drug test andit's about time,. Every year,m we as Dolphin fans become optimistic with the return of Ricky Williams and he consistently lets us down. No More now that Cam Cameron has told Ricky to take the high road. Daunte Culpepper just can't get healthy and although it's a shame we lost a 2nd round pick on him, we got that pback in a steal from the Patriots for an overchiever in Wes Welker. Free agency opened and we signed athletic tigh end David Martin, offensive line depth in Chris Lewienski and Mike Rosenthal, special teams aces in Az Hakim and Cam Worrell, a hole creating FB in Cory Schlesinger, and a superstar linebackerin Joey Porter. Ronnie Brown will greatly benefit from the addition of Schlesinger. Poter comes to a Miami Dolphins defense whick ranked 4th in the entire NFL in the 2006 season. Adding Porter to a Miami Dolphin defense that already has the likes of Zach Thomas, Channing Crowder, Vonnie Holliday, Keith Traylor, and Defensive Player of the Year Jason Taylor is simply remarketable. Porter is a leader on and off the field and brings this team an attiude and energy that it has lacked for a long long time. Not to mention that he is a pass rushing deamon who will reak havoc all year. Matt Roth is young and hungry monster who comes in and is an instant upgrade over the ageing Kevin Carter. Rid Wright, a potential 1st round pick ebfore injury, comes to the team andhas looked sharpe at both defensive end and defensive tackle. We got rid of the cry baby Manny Wright, and have youngsters such as Fred Evans, Paul Solia, and Rod Wright to come in play. All 3 young defensive tackles are 1st round talents who will be big contributors this year. Travis Daniels comes back healthy and is our best DB when he is healthy,. He and Will Allen should be our starting corners. Jason Allen makes the switch from saftey to corner but bottom line is that Jason Allen has the ability and instincts to be a play maker in this league. Jason Allen has looked great this offseason and should contribute as the nickel back and eventually start. Hilla ndBell are solid at safteys.
Then we hit it big in April's Draft. In the 1st round we passed on the overrated Brady Quinn and took the most explosive player in the draft in ted Ginn. Ted Ginn gives us a bg play threat as a retruner and as a wide receiver. The guy makes big plays and thats what we lack. In Round 2 we get John Beck who i personally think is the 2nd best QB beehind Jamarcus Russell. eck reminds me of Drew Brees and now will have a year or two to learn behind Trent Green. Samson Satale gives us a great offensive linemen who can run block and pass block. Lorenzo Booker gives us the perfect complement to Ronnie Brown. Paul Solia was a steal in round 4. Abe Wright, Kelvin Smith, Reagen Mauia, Drew Mormino, and Brandon Fields should all make the team and contribute.
Now the biggets move was acquiring Trent Green. Green is efficient and a brilliant passer. He is smart with the ball and he already knows Cams' system. Green will have weapons with Booker, Chambers, ginn, brown, and the emerging Derek Hagan. The Fins will be good in 2007, real good. They still are interested in acquiring Pete Kendall if he is released and if they do the team won't have any glaring holes. 12-4 is my predictions. Go ahead and doubt but when we travel to Washington DC opening game and the ball is in Ted Ginns hands and your heart is in your throat because the guy is always a second away from breaking one, you will know what I mean.
